Stability results for some nonlinear elliptic equations involving the p-Laplacian with critical Sobolev growth

Bruno Nazaret (2010)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

This article is devoted to the study of a perturbation with a viscosity term in an elliptic equation involving the p-Laplacian operator and related to the best contant problem in Sobolev inequalities in the critical case. We prove first that this problem, together with the equation, is stable under this perturbation, assuming some conditions on the datas. In the next section, we show that the zero solution is strongly isolated in some sense, among the space of the solutions. Actually, we end the...

Structure of stable solutions of a one-dimensional variational problem

Nung Kwan Yip (2006)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

We prove the periodicity of all H2-local minimizers with low energy for a one-dimensional higher order variational problem. The results extend and complement an earlier work of Stefan Müller which concerns the structure of global minimizer. The energy functional studied in this work is motivated by the investigation of coherent solid phase transformations and the competition between the effects from regularization and formation of small scale structures. With a special choice of a bilinear double...

Sufficient optimality conditions and semi-smooth newton methods for optimal control of stationary variational inequalities

Karl Kunisch, Daniel Wachsmuth (2012)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

In this paper sufficient second order optimality conditions for optimal control problems subject to stationary variational inequalities of obstacle type are derived. Since optimality conditions for such problems always involve measures as Lagrange multipliers, which impede the use of efficient Newton type methods, a family of regularized problems is introduced. Second order sufficient optimality conditions are derived for the regularized problems...

Sufficient optimality conditions for multivariable control problems

Andrzej Nowakowski (2007)

Discussiones Mathematicae, Differential Inclusions, Control and Optimization

We study optimal control problems for partial differential equations (focusing on the multidimensional differential equation) with control functions in the Dirichlet boundary conditions under pointwise control (and we admit state - by assuming weak hypotheses) constraints.

Symmetry of minimizers with a level surface parallel to the boundary

Giulio Ciraolo, Rolando Magnanini, Shigeru Sakaguchi (2015)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

We consider the functional ℐ Ω ( v ) = ∫ Ω [ f ( | D v | ) - v ] d x , where Ω is a bounded domain and f is a convex function. Under general assumptions on f , Crasta [Cr1] has shown that if ℐ Ω admits a minimizer in W 0 1 , 1 ( Ω ) depending only on the distance from the boundary of Ω , then Ω must be a ball. With some restrictions on f , we prove that spherical symmetry can be obtained only by assuming that the minimizer has one level surface parallel to the boundary (i.e. it has only a level surface in common with the distance). We then discuss how these...
